New Song for Terry Fox: The Power of One

William Prince releases a new song “Run,” written and recorded for tonight’s CBC broadcast Terry Fox: The Power of One. Listen now and tune in to the special one-hour national broadcast, starting at 8pm.

Throughout the song, “one foot in front of the other,” is both chorus and mantra. Produced by Scott Nolan, “Run” steadily, determinedly moves forward, mirroring the sound of feet on pavement. Midway through, the song quiets and then returns with its second wind, a nod to keeping on. With lyrics that reference Fox’s own words about believing in oneself because there is no choice not to, “Run” explores the universality of endurance, commitment and the power of every first step.

William Prince was most recently on the national/virtual stage performing “The Spark” with Serena Ryder for the JUNO Awards broadcast. The two artists will meet again at Massey Hall on April 1, 2021.

Terry Fox: The Power of One commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope in support of cancer research.

Boy Golden has officially opened the doors to the Church of Better Daze with his debut album, released today. Packed full of lessons on living truly, Boy Golden preaches the good word on how to appreciate what we have while still making time to work towards a better life. With a powerful and positive point of view, Boy Golden teaches that when you dream big and work hard, every moment adds up to something meaningful.

And if that wasn’t enough, on August 6 there will be real life in-person doors you can walk through to experience the good vibes that uphold the spirit of Boy Golden’s Church of Better Daze in The Better Daze Gallery. Curated by the Founder and Minister himself, this Winnipeg art exhibit will feature artists that live both locally and further away, with artwork united by a shared theme. Let The Better Daze Gallery be an inspiration to enriching your life with the things that make you feel good. Stay tuned for details on virtual gallery tours and more. All are welcome.

Comfort food for the ears, Boy Golden has an easy recipe for happiness in “KD And Lunch Meat,” a guide to living well in small ways. A song born of Boy Golden’s irresistible optimism and budgetary constraints, “KD And Lunch Meat” is a single serving of joy, a mac n’ cheese motto for making the most of each and every day. However you slice it, with a well-sauced chorus and breezy noodling, Boy Golden’s “KD And Lunch Meat” is a strong contender for Stoner Song of the Summer — were there such a title.

“When I wrote this song, I was feeling good for the first time in a long time,” says Boy Golden. “As the chorus says – you’ve gotta do something for you, put your own happiness first, and the rest should follow.”

“I didn’t know it at the time, but I wrote this song to serve as a reminder. What do I really want? All I need is a few hundred bucks, some KD and freedom – everything else is gravy.”

Boy Golden, recently featured as “A Canadian Cannabis Hero” by Exclaim, is a brand new artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Boy Golden’s debut album, Church of Better Daze, is out July 16, 2021 via Six Shooter Records.

ABOUT BOY GOLDEN

Boy Golden has a purpose: enjoy each day and make good music. Founder and minister of The Church of Better Daze, he wants to help people seeking to improve on yesterday’s themes. His songs, like hymns, are hopeful, fresh and upbeat. Like its namesake packaged mac n’ cheese, “KD & Lunch Meat,” is fluorescent, fun and easily ingested.

Church of Better Daze is the inspirational, musical manifesto. The harmonies are the collective idea of working together, the mellow melodies keep our hopes alive and the lyrics are golden rules to live by: Follow your heart / Make good art / Call your momma / Work real hard.

Turning dead heads into lively brains, Boy Golden wants to unite us all in a hazy dream under one roof. “We’re all the same at the Church of Better Daze,” he sings.

Find unity in the congregation of these 11 tracks, which redefine the precedent for collaboration, common goals and cannabis. If you’re open to learn, and can speak your truth, you can blaze and still get paid in Boy Golden’s Church of Better Daze.
